A -- Early Warning Radar Studies

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has a requirement to expand the scope of the Raytheon contract HQ0006-06-C-0012 to provide a vehicle to analyze the feasibility and impacts of future Early Warning Radar (EWR) applications for the Missile Defense System. MDA intends to award a modification to the contract to Raytheon Corporation for this effort. This contract modification will be under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.3012-1(a)(ii) only one responsible source. Raytheon, the developer of the upgrades of the EWRs at Beale, Fylingdales and Thule is the only company that can provide the required studies without significant duplication of costs to the Government. An award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in performing the required analyses.
